After writing many posts about the places which made an impact on my life, i had to write one on "Namma Bengaluru" or else i wouldn be able to justify it to myself.!!!
Disclaimer: Understood better only by people of Bengaluru and is strictly for Namma Bengaluru Lovers who love this city unconditionally!!!!
With this Disclaimer i start----
Recently i was having a chat with my Mom which provoked me to write this post.
We were discussing something and then suddenly she starts describing Benda Kaluru as she had seen in her young age. I was simply amazed to listen, which also kept me wondering whether the things happening at present are for good or bad(we can take that up later)
Now Benda Kaluru from my Mom's eyes starts something like this:(though it is better if u can listen it from her, i still make an effort)
Traditionally, the Dodda Ganesha Temple on Bull Temple's road has been ours. My Great grandfather father started doing pooja and from then on it is being passed on to generations. Even today my grandfather only does all the pooja and holy offerings to LORD GANESHA!!. Why am i talking about this ?? Well when my mom was a kid ,the temple which is so famous now with it being covered in Bangalore Darshan was just small hut! And literally she has seen Ganesha's Idol grow in size(yes u read that right!, the idol has grown into as big as it is now). Well why did that road get its name as BULL TEMPLE ROAD becoz the Big Bull in the temple kept growing and then they had to hit a nail on its head so that ot stops growing!!(I m not exaggerating if you are doubting, then please feel free to go and see it yourself)
There was also a huge rock which had so much of water in its pit, that it was converted into pond, where my mom and others used to go to do ganesh visargan at the time of Ganesha Festival! And now there is no such thing which is left.
The Bugle rock park, which is now so full of people was a forest and people were scared to go.
In Hanumanthanagar, the road ended near Maruti Circle. There was no 50 feet road at all.(Can you believe that?)
Vijayanagar on the other hand had just a few houses here and der.
Well then Padmanabhanagar and other areas a distant dream to live in a civilised community.
My dad used to get 350Rs as salary when he joined, and in that the couple would end up saving 50Rs.(Sounds funny, is it ?? I also feel sad becoz money now has lost its value and so has things which money can buy)
So was Benda Kaluru in my mom's eyes and she is till today perplexed as to how it grew to Bengaluru in front of her eyes! (this will probably be the statement of all Mom's and Dad's who are born and brought up in Bangalore)
I just kept wondering thinking about how it grew to Bangalore and then now to "Namma Bengaluru" In a matter of just 30 years it has become a distant dream to own a piece if land in the centre of the city!!!!!
Yes Change is continous as we all keep uttering(mostly to ourself) becoz only when u are willing to change, can you see the change! But Change to this extent was it required, infact people were much more happy then living with joint families, the kids getting love and affection of sorts from different people in the family. There was a sweet home in every house. Now i fali to find that in many houses!!!
Any relatives/friends coming home was a matter of celebration rather than being seen as another trouble.Now what we tell, please do make a call before coming!!!
I really feel sad when i see the amount of traffic in bangalore due to whatever shit (globalization and blah blah). But i definetely love it as it is, becoz i m more than emotionally attached to this place(i kno , i kno u shouldn be emotionally attached to places, but who is not??)
Are people happy here like before???? Ah! I wonder what will start running in every mind which reads this post.!!!!!!!!!

Mar--riage
So it was 2012!!!!!!! :-o
All set for a lifetime commitment. Seriously thinking that I would be married in a couple of months gives me Goosebumps. I ask myself – Am I ready for this ?? Will my life change completely ? Ok, accepted it changes –good or bad? :o. I will be playing another extra role in my life, will be someone’s wife. God!! Really scaryyyyyyy.
Suddenly so many thoughts start floating ---
1.I will no longer be living/coming to the house where I used to stay even though I m in the same city..how odd is that ?? :/
2.Only a couple of months where I can claim to be single and have no dependents.
3.I always remember attending others marriage and feeling very happy for so many reasons, but now its my own wedding and I am unable to believe it. It feels so odd to be in the shoes of the bride.
4.Suddenly everybody is interested in what I eat, wear, look and all the small minor things which were not there in the picture before.
5.I feel that now it can be postponed as much as possible.
6.No longer ticking the box which says “Single” in any of the forms where marital status is asked.
So many many other concerns day in and out. You spend so much in the 2 days which you would have probably spent in your whole lifetime. I still feel –is so much of spending worth it??
Mine is a love cum arranged marriage where I know the guy very well , but still I feel so scared to get married. I really appreciate other gals where in they learn to trust a guy in couple of meetings and agree to stay together for a lifetime. I wouldn’t have imagined myself doing something like that (not that there is anything wrong with either, just my own thoughts here, not meant to be taken personally)
Well if u ask me if I m excited,-I say YES, but then there is so much of uncertainty to things around and it gives me jitters. I’ll feel at peace only my marriage is over (or is it the reverse I wonder!!!)(this also applies to my parents and my guy as well).I still can’t believe I am going to get married and everything is fixed so soon!!! :/ :O. Everybody probably undergoes these feelings during this time (though not sure). Overall a weird feeling which comes with a package which u can’t separate it from. But then getting married is just not like another thing in your life. It’s a different episode and experience altogether.
I also have a strange feeling that I should be doing whatever I wanted in life before I get married( as though i m going to die, or are these both synonyms when it comes to marriage?? :P). Sometimes there will no explanation to feelings (after all it is feelings).
Am I looking forward for the “D-day”. Well I leave it to each one’s own interpretation :)

A humbling experience
Chennai local buses....
Gosh!! a sight to watch(not that Bangalore ones are less crowded).
In Chennai buses(wherever i am using buses it will refer only to local buses as of now..:P)one side is for ladies and other for gents(this is a huge pain, not while sitting but standing and also while getting into/out of the bus as well).
All said and done why i m speaking about all this now?Well i joined Keane, in Chennai as a Pre-Sales executive. (Un)fortunately, this company has no shuttle/cab facility(bah!), hence left with the only option --BUS for my commutation(if u are thinking about why auto is not an option, please visit Chennai/read my post on Chennai).
As a routine i used to get into the bus 29C(which is claimed to be the family bus of my aunt's family,reason being everyone(the whole family tree has/had/is traveled in the same bus) and put on my earphones and go on about my day-dreaming.Now there comes a day where i do the same,only change being i sit in the last row of the bus with the visibility of the door or rather a opening at the back. I keep staring at people as they get in and out, and there comes a college guy who just hangs around the door as the bus starts moving(just one leg on the bus and the other one hanging in thin air).Gosh! i had seen this in Bangalore too, but watching it closely made me really freak -out!!
He is ready to put his life at risk , just to save a few bucks! here we sit and complain about the many things(read luxuries)that life has not offered us. He almost gets into the bus when it is half moving, seeing boyz movie and some news articles really has showed me how people lose their lives when doing something as crazy as this! I kept watching him and making sure that he is safely boarding the bus, even otherwise what could i do! Really i had tears in my eyes seeing him and i really thanked my stars for giving me everything that can make me lead a comfortable life today.
Often in life we fail to realize how fortunate we are! We are able to see,feel, sense and many other things which have now become a part of us which is something that others don't have. We are so engrossed in our day to day activities that we forget that; life for everyone is not the same and there is no human who do not have any troubles!! (Alas thats again human; ain't it,"to forget"). So once in a while just look around and thank your stars for whatever u are (here i m not telling not to aim higher or compare with the people who are better than u) . Just a thought which crossed my mind that day and made me feel humble . It was indeed a very humbling experience and made me shed tears. It was as though someone had slapped me on face just for thinking that my life is only difficult!
P.S: I so wish i could stop all those, make automatic closing doors for all buses, but then again I m helpless!!!!!!! :(

Getting Placed!
Writing "I m placed" gives a kinda thrill,though tis isnt my 1st job but i experience the same feeling. U earn your own money , handle responsiblities, meet new people, take up new challenges and keep yourself occupied comes as a package with the job.A busy mind is any day better than idle one.
My Professional career started with Polaris and now it is with ICICI. I am not sure whether i would be joining or not but then ya " I m placed with ICICI". Though it may not seem a big deal becoz eventually everyone gets a job but then when one gets --yes that feeling is entirely different
Good aspects of being selected for ICICI
1.Its the second largest bank :)
2.They may place people in their hometown so looking forward to work at Bangalore.:)
3.No more pondering about being jobless.:)(this would apply to any organisation i would have been selected but nevertheless it is a reason)
4.Recognised Brand name with profile of Relationship Manager(please re-read the word Manager :P)
5.Easy entry into IT sector as a Subject Matter Expert or Business Analyst :)
6.Good for a start-up..:)
Bad Aspects of being selected for ICICI
1.Not the profile i wanted to work for...:(( U kno which profile i m interested in now..:D)
2.Never wanted to associate myself with BANKS..:(
Don kno where to put
8 of my college mates are now my collegues..:O
Some advantages and disadvantages of being placed
Advantages:
-->No more looking forward for companies visiting colleges.
-->No more thinking of visiting the campus for the wrong reasons
-->No more answering Q's like 1. Did the placements start ?? when ?? still not placed?
Disadvantages:
--> Everybody asking for a TREAT ...!!
--> Many new oppurtunities lost(may be with a higher package:P)
--> Covering up being upset by saying-- Oh! it is just this placements(No matter for what you are upset , now u are done u have to find new reasons! :D)
--> Now parents start with the typical old questions like --Ok! u are now kinda settled with ur career path , when do u wanna get --- ( u kno what i m referring !!--ufff the Big M of the Indian families(MARRIAGE!!!)
--> A big BYE BYE to being lazyy!!!
--> No more of beautiful student life which i spent.:(
So mixed feelings but then all in all a great feeling!!!!

Wonders Why!!!!
In life often i wonder about many things...
Why does one gets all the bad happenings together?
Why should someone always walk away with whatever they wanted?
Why should life be so unfair to some and fair play for others?
Why should compentencies be only some people's assets?
Why does one always feel that he/she could have done better job if given all the time in the world?
Why should one not respect each other without critisizing?
Why should people show attitude even though they mean nothing?
Why some people try to overpower others?
Why cannot someone be simple?
Why should you even search for happiness?
Why should you feel so attached to someone n not others?
Why should someone always compromise for others?
Why should majority always win?
Why should someone bank on others efforts?
Why should one act normal in situations where he/she cant but forced to do so?
Why should somebody bother about the "society"?
Why can't one lead a life the way he/she wants?
Why does one always complicate the whole process?
Why should some people get together very close in a short period and regret about it later and go their own ways ?
Why doesnt luck stay with everybody?
Why cant we make a portion of luck to feel "Happy go lucky "?
Why? Why? Why?
These Questions always are never answered. Probably everybody does get all these questions day in and day out but noone tries to find answer or may be some questions are not meant to be answered. Some are better left unsaid i guess!! But then these answers someday needs to be given not to anyone but to self i guess. Lets see how much life unfolds and how much i unfold.

A Decade gone by
The decade that has gone by has really shaped my career, made me a better person than what i was. It has also given me pain , gain and also strain(wow it rhymes!).
Some Milestones in my life ....
2001-- I was a teenage gal finishing school life with 10th std results coming in which i had passed it with flying colors. I had got a distinction(92.8!! brag brag) and also since the college was linked to the school,i got a seat in one of the prestigious college(if i may call so) in bangalore. I even got a scholarship from the government as i was one among the 50 rank holders if at all there was supposed to be RANKING system. I got many awards ,recognition and also the feel good factor. This was kinda golden era where life gave me anything and everywhere i asked for.Lots of praises and also i saw how my parents were proud to have a daughter like me.
2003-- 2nd PUC (Well a major!! Got voting rights!!)what an year !!! my god really what an year it was!!. The year seemed never ending with loads of things on do and also loads of pressure to perform and get results no matter how. I had joined tutions for all 4 major subjects (PCMB). Each tution was located in different directions. My typical day would start at right 4.30 AM ( yes indeed early morning 4.30 , sometimes i sleep at this time nowadays). I used to run to take my shower, run to the maths tution which was like 15kms from my place. Then directly go to college and then again attend another tution in the evening and then come home around 8. Later again study or do some assignments and then off to bed by 12.(wow what a fantastic way to spend one's day isn't it???).I didnt have any kinda social activity, no entertainment nothing at all. All it seemed to matter was how much time left for the exams. I cannot say that the results which i got really paid off the effort i had put in, but then ya gained a lot of confidence, self management and also stress handling . Then there was one more big hurdle waiting in the form of CET where in again i was attending coaching classes to prepare and get as less rank(aim is to get 1st rank) as possible so that i could get a medical seat which was my ambition then.Finally all results out i couldn get a free seat in medical hence i was forced to see the option of engineering.Well i took an engineering seat in a so-so college. Really this year was one hella lot for an year...
2003-2007-- What else can be expected as soon as one joins engineering college. It was kinda fun , enjoyed some moments , there was also the pain part of it (lill personal), then there was tension 15 days before exams. Each one used to call each other just to find out who has completed how much(cursing them in mind for completing so much) and how much are we supposed to do to get at par(in the 20 days of so called study holidays!!!!)The subjects seemed so greek and latin still we used to manage to study them (god knows how and even now i wonder how i got my degree!!!).Not to mention the "tutions" which didnt leave me even then.Participating in different fests, attending them just for fun,bunking classes and getting off to a movie were all a part and parcel of life then.
Well then comes this "Placement fever" where in everybody is applying and preparing vigourosuly to get into a good company with good package. I got into POLARIS one year before the completion of my graduation, so the rest of year went just like that.In 8th sem again people running to companies , some institutes etc which could provide them with good projects which could add value to their CV was really a sight to watch.Really those were the days to be cherished and stored for lifetime . Had loads of funnnnnn doing those projects got hands on experience with designing circuits and also making them work.
2007-2009-- Employement @ Polaris about which i have mentioned in a different post altogether.
2009-2011-- MBA!!!
Again in the same phase of getting employment. Hope this too shall pass and i end up in a good company where in i can add value to myself and to the organization.
Milestones weren't they ??? everybody typically undergoes all these. All these milestones have made me what i m today , has given me strength to face any difficulties and also not to panic in any situation. Today i see my parents proud again as i would be Chaitra, (BE , MBA), not that it is a big deal but then the feeling that gives parents when they see their children progress is just so nice to look at and admire.
Did i just add 2 degrees to my Qualification or did i learn something is the question at hand.
I feel that i have become a better human being not to the society but to the myself, i learned a lot of things like to love myself , to think , not to be a parasite on somebody's efforts(not an exhaustive list ). I have also gained some knowledge in terms of the domain in which i m pursuing my career, but still learning can't stop(right?) it is a never ending process and should be(If you rest you rust!)...My learning and struggle to make my life more better still continues......I just hope the next decade has something more to add on to my life and make it more meaningful for the life i m living and also to my spouse and my children...

KIAMS..final destiny
I told about all the places which has made me a person of which i stand today...
The final destination which God had for me is HARIHAR, where there is a management college called Kirloskar Institute of Advanced Management(KIAMS).
I came here after getting qualified by giving XAT. I was intially very happy to get an admission here , as i wanted to move away from techy stuff. I entered this campus just like any gal with loads of ambition,dreams and hope(lill did i kno all these will be shattered soon).
KIAMS,where do i start to tell about this place.As i entered here, i was not satisfied with the hostel room allocated to me as it was 3 sharing .This was THE beginning of the endless problems which came up and is still there even today. This placehas something in it thats for sure(i guess it is jinxed) . I have never felt happy wholehearetdly here.( May be my problem,but then i have many of my classmates sharing the same prob).I enjoy , i have fun but at the end of the day i feel i m alone and helpless.
I am very happy with the course offerings...i m learning a lot..but then at what cost ..thats what i ask myself. I really cant find the answer .
Who am I and why I m doing this to myself?? The question remains and i hope that i find the answer before I leave this Coll.
